HISTORY ASPECTS: The United Airlines Boeing 757-200, registration N536UA, is a classic example of one of the most versatile and recognizable aircraft in commercial aviation. Delivered to United Airlines in 1994, this particular aircraft operated primarily on medium- to long-haul routes, both domestically and internationally. The Boeing 757, known for its powerful performance and reliability, was especially favored for United's "hub and spoke" model, efficiently connecting major hubs like Chicago O'Hare, San Francisco, and Washington Dulles with key destinations. N536UA played a vital role in linking passengers across the United States and beyond, often being utilized for flights to Europe from the U.S. East Coast. A distinguishing feature of N536UA is its livery, which bears the iconic Saul Bass "tulip" design that graced United Airlines' fleet from the 1970s until the early 2000s. Saul Bass, a legendary graphic designer, introduced the multi-colored “tulip” logo, which became synonymous with United Airlines' brand for decades. This branding symbolized modernity and professionalism, and the blue and grey color scheme, seen on the aircraft, became a signature look for the airline. N536UA, with its elegant and sleek livery, represented United’s global ambitions during the late 20th century, when the airline was expanding its international reach and modernizing its fleet. The Boeing 757-200 itself was an engineering marvel of its time, offering excellent range capabilities, fuel efficiency, and the ability to operate from airports with shorter runways. N536UA, as part of the 757 fleet, offered superior performance on transcontinental flights, such as those from New York to Los Angeles, as well as international routes to Europe and South America. This model became a favorite of United’s pilots and passengers alike, thanks to its comfortable cabin layout and smooth ride. N536UA continued to serve United Airlines faithfully for over two decades before the airline began phasing out its 757s as part of fleet modernization efforts. This 1:400 scale model is a beautifully detailed collector's item, celebrating the history of United Airlines during a transformative era. With its finely crafted exterior and accurate representation of the classic design, this replica is perfect for aviation enthusiasts looking to commemorate an aircraft that bridged the old and new in United’s distinguished history.
